First off I'd like to apologize for not updating in awhile. I have gotten a lot of pm's asking if I stopped the story. No I have not. I am definitely continuing it.
Second id like to apologize for this being a author notes and not a actual chapter. I've been very busy but fortunately school ended but now I have my job I'm at a lot and I have some family troubles at the moment.
Ok now onto the actual news part.
First is chapter 8 I said I was gonna have another character from another book appear. That was gonna be Zia but since then I thought about it and decided no. Instead I'm gonna have a friend of the parents Emily and then a character that I'm also gonna use in Aphrodite's daughters story Bella appear. I really liked her character and wanted her to be in both but she will have differences between the stories.
Emily is most likely gonna be a friend of the parents while bella is Emily's "daughter" just like how Annabeth is Scarlett and allies "daughter". They will be invited along as Emily is friends of Annabeth's parents and bella comes along and her and Annabeth become good friends instantly.
Second I'm gonna do a time skip to the air port next chapter and most likely gonna end that one with them on the cruise ship. I don't know how to fit a lemon into that so if you do feel free to speak up and tell me.
Thank you for your patience and you will have a update with more of the story soon. Just like how I said before I have a lot going on.
All the ideas I just stated are subject to change as I haven't talked to my beta reader yet who helps me out with all of them. But for now that is the plan. If they change then you will just have more surprises when reading.
